Club Rules

These rules form part of your membership agreement. By using the gym you agree to follow them. They exist to keep you and everyone else safe.

Who these rules are between

Your membership is with JNJ Leisure Limited (company number 07257842), trading as UFit Fitness. These rules apply to the premises operated by U Fit Community Leisure Limited and to equipment owned by JNJ Leisure Limited. In these rules, “we”, “us” and “UFit” means both companies and their staff.

Using equipment

  1. Use equipment the way it was designed to be used. Manufacturer instructions are on or near every machine. Follow them.
  2. Check adjustments are locked before you load. Many machines have parts that move and lock: pulley carriages, seat pins, safety bars, arm positions. Before you apply any weight or force, check the locking pin is fully engaged. Look at it and give it a pull. If it does not lock cleanly, stop and tell a member of staff.
  3. Always use the correct attachment. Cable machines are designed to be used with a handle, bar or rope fitted. Never train using the bare cable, the carabiner or the connector on its own.
  4. Keep your hands clear of moving parts while equipment is under load.
  5. Collars and clips on barbells, every time.
  6. If you do not know how to use something, ask. Staff are on the floor and will show you, free, any time. There is no such thing as a stupid question in here.

Looking after the space

  1. Put everything back where it came from. Dumbbells on the rack in order, plates on the tree, bars on the rack, attachments back on the hooks.
  2. Do not leave anything on the floor. Not weights, not bars, not bags, not water bottles. Walkways stay clear.
  3. Wipe equipment down after you use it.
  4. Do not move equipment out of its designated area without speaking to staff.

Reporting problems

  1. Tell us immediately if anything is damaged, loose, worn or not working properly. Do not keep using it and do not leave it for someone else to find. Speak to any member of staff.
  2. Tell us straight away if you or anyone else is hurt, however minor it seems. We will complete an accident report. This protects you as much as it protects us.

Training safely

  1. Train within your own ability. If you are unsure whether an exercise is right for you, ask.
  2. Use a spotter for heavy lifts, or use the safety bars.
  3. Tell us if your health changes in a way that affects your training. You can update your details at any time.
  4. Age and junior members.-

       a. Members aged 16 and over may use the gym unaccompanied, once they have completed the health and gym experience questionnaire and, where we ask for one, an induction.

       b. Under 16s may not use the gym floor, unless they are taking part in a supervised junior class, or are accompanied by a parent or guardian who stays with them at all times.

       c. Where an under 16 uses the gym, a parent or guardian must complete the health and gym experience questionnaire and the equipment use acknowledgement on their behalf.

Personal trainers

  1. Only UFit approved personal trainers may coach in the gym. If you want to train someone else for payment, speak to management first. This is covered at clause 19 of your membership terms.

Everyone else

  1. Treat staff and other members with respect. Aggressive, abusive, anti-social or threatening behaviour ends your membership immediately.
  2. Do not film or photograph other members without their permission.
  3. Appropriate footwear and clothing at all times. Training tops on in the gym area.

Specialist areas

  1. The Olympic lifting platforms, container box, sauna and ice recovery areas have their own rules, displayed at each. Read them before you use those areas.

These rules may be updated from time to time. The current version is always available at ufit-fitness.com/club-rules and on display in the club.
